THE THAYER FAMILY OF THORNBURY 



The iuterestiug notices of the Tuyev family en- 
tries in the parish of Thoruhiiry, Uloucestei'shire, 
England, communicated by Walteii Faxon, Esif., 
and Edward Henry Whorf, Esq., published witli an 
introduction and notes by Henry Ernest Woods, 
A.M., in The New England Historical and Genealog- 
ical Ilegififer, seem to be enovigh for trying tlie recon- 
stitution or, at least, for conjecturing its sprt;ad. 

/. Generation. — The first member of this family 
settled in Tliornl)ury must be undoul)tedly .T<^hian]es 
or perhaps Wilihelmus Taj'^er, or Tawier, born in the 
beginnings of the XVI. century, married about 1520 
to 15o0, one of the twenty-six tenants of the Manor 
in 1550, died 11 February 1561 [-2]. 

//. Generation. — Johanes Tayer or Tawier, a 
god-father 1565-6-7-8-9, married to Mary [ ] 

Tawier [after married Cooke] a godmotlier 

1557-60-61-63-65. 

Thomas Tayer, father of Johanes Tayer, bora in 
1558, a godfather, 1557-58-59-60-62-67. 'Married to 



THE THAYEK FAMILY OF THOUNBURY 



Margarett [ ] Tawier a godmother 15G0-63- 

64-74-83-86. 

The buried entry of Mrs. Mary Tayer [after 
married Cooke] says: 20 April 1611. Mrs. Mary 
Cooke {whose sister [sic] in law was Thomas Tawtjer, 
H'ho died in anno 1593). In the burials of that year 
is only mentioned Margaret Tayer, possibly the wife 
of Thomas Tayer and to whom allude the entry 
quoted above. No other man of the surname Tayer 
appears in that time, thus it can be supposed that 
Thomas and John were brothers. 

///. Generation. — It is likely that all the children 
born from 1558 to 1581 were sons of the foregoings. 
For to separate the two lines it has been made use 
of the facts that follow ; 

1st. Johanes Tayer, son and heir of Thomas 
Tayer born in 1558 ; that makes believe he was the 
primogenial of the said Thomas. 

2nd. John Tayer's will, son of Mary Cooke and 
brother of Thomas Tayer. 

3rd. Impossibility that some of those children 
were brothers between them, by example, Johanes, 
born 6 May, 1561, and Cuthberta, born 1st Septem- 
ber, 1561 ; Thomas, born 8 February, 1563-4 and 
Johanes, born 28 February, 1563-4; Richardus, born 
6 May, 1565, with William, born 1st November, 
1564, and Alice 10 December, 1565 ; Thomas, born 
12 February, 1569-70, with Lucy, born 23 September, 
1568, or with Ann born 13 August, 1570. 

4th. Repetition of certain surnames in their 
godfathers. Separated the two lines it appears in 
John's the following: Richard and Lucy Baker, 



THK TI1A.VEK FAAflLY OF TIIOlJNBUltY 



Johanes, Johaua, Eleonora Barton, Susan Birton, 
[Barton?], William Bruton [BavtouV] ; Kichard and 
Joice Gi'iffings ; Johanes Jones (twice) ; Thomas and 
Johanes Moore: Humfridus and Elizabeth Wliitfield, 
the same surnames are repeated afterwards in the 
bai>tisms of John's grandchildren, and yet in those 
of his great-grand children. 

In Thomas's line : Richard WiJcox, three times ; 
Agneta and Mary Tatrier. It is not credible that 
this last was the godmother of her own child, whilst 
it is probable she has been it of a son of her brother- 
in-law. 

Notwithstanding, it is not impossible it may 
have existed a third line, because it may be observed 
a very short time between the baptisms of John and 
Thomas 8 and 28 February, 1563-4, and those of 
Richard 2 August, 1562, or William, 1 November, 
1564, which can be elucidated satisfactorily by that 
way, but as it has been said, there are not in the 
parish register of Thornbury any other man of this 
surname in that time, but the said Thomas and 
Johanes Tayer, failing, by consequence, the name of 
the primogenitor of this third line. 

They had descendants: Thomas, Richard, John, 
and Edward Tayer, sons of John and Mary Tayer. 

IV. Generation. — From this generation it is easy 
to know the children of each one: those of Thomas 
and John are enumerated in their own wills, adding 
only to the children of the last another two, died in 
the childhood. 

Richard seems to have been married twice, the 



THIC THAYKK KAMILV OF THOBXBURV 



first time (1) to Au, who died 10 November, 1590, 
and soon after to [Dimery V] Of this last were sons 
Thomas and Richard, who emigrated to New Eng- 
land, William and several others. To identify them 
it has been used the same means as for the former, 
and principally the three next entries : 

Burial, If) INIarch, IGOG-T, John Taire, son of 
Richard Taire. 

Baptism, 15 March 1607-8, Agnes Taire, the 
daughter of Richard Taire. 

Burial, 12 October, IGIU, •John Taire, son of 
Richard Taire. 

Edward Tayer had also several children (2), but 
in his widow's will, dated 1656, are only mentioned 
two of them : John, and Anne, married to William 
Barton. 

V. (rp)/rnifi(>ii. — A mistake in this generation is 
difficult. The children of Thomas and Richard are 
known in a great part, aud also those of John, men- 
tioned in the will of Sara [Mallett] Tayer, his widow, 
the others are of William, who married, 1625-6, to 
Mary Kelloway, whose relatives are named in six of 
her children's baptisms {?>). 



(1) This iTiurriHge is uncertain, but the error sliouhl l)e without 
fiignilicance because the four ilrtn<'liters born of it, died in the child- 
liood or unmarried. 

(2) ]iaj)tisnis, 1.5 .January, KiOVl-lO, Tlionias Tawyer son of 
Edward Til wyer. Biiri.il 11 February, 1()()'.)-1(). Thonia.s Taire,

(3) They are doubtful: lOlizabetii, daugjiter of llichnrd, born 
]()27, and Mary, daughter of Thomas, born 1030, becau.se Ijotii are 
.neither mentioned in the l)urials of Thornbury until 1045, nor in 
any record of New Englanc], so far as known. 



THK TIIAVKIJ i'AMII.V OF TUOKNItllltY 



Any errors that iiiav- luive suft'ered the anterior 
ealculatioiis, it seems established that the Tayer 
family of Thornbury is not prior to the 16th centnry. 
It is easy to suppose, conseciuently, that it shall pro- 
ceed from the other family of this name that appears 
to be settled at Brockworth at least in the middle 
of the foi'uier eentuiy. In fact, though the oldest 
records that are known are later to 1541, they are 
cnoua-li to believe it so. 

The first one is the will of Thomas Theyer the 
elder, dated 31 July, 1542, proved in 1543. Married 
twice: to and to Agnes, having 

of this last John, a minor in tlint year. No other 
children are mentioned neither in his own will nor 
in his wife's, dated 11 June, 1547. Nevertheless, 
that should not prove he should haA'e no others, be- 
cause in many wills of that age are only mentioned 
the heirs and legatees, omitting the others. 

Will of Joan Theyer, widow {a sister-in-law of 
the aforef/o/i/f/';') dated 19 March, 1545, proved 1546. 
Bequeaths to Robert, the elder, and to Robert, the 
younger (her f/raud children:') sons of ^Tohn Theyer 
{her son?); to Joan [her (/rf(iiddai((/hter?), daughter 
of William Theyre, of Hucclecote (her son?) £6. 
Residue to son Thomas Theyer (tlie nomifier?). 

Will of Walter Thayer, of Churchdown (.so;? of 
Joan?) dated 11 August, 155S, })roved the same year, 
he mentions William Theyer of ?Iucclecote (his broth- 
er?). Children: John, named in William Theyer's 
will, of Huccleeote (7//.s- nnrle?); Margery, mentioned 
in Margery Theyer's will, the wife of Thomas 
Theyer, of Brockworth (her uncle?) and others. — 



THE THAYEU FAMILY OF THORNIUJKY 



Grandchildren: John, born 1561, and several others. 

John Theyer, of Broekworth. Will dated April 
1561. Named in Joan Theyer's will (his mother?). 
Godfather of John {his nephew?) son of Walter 
Thayer, of Churchdown. Children : Robert the elder 
and Robert the younger, mentioned in Joan Theyer's 
will 1545 {fheir f/miidmother?). Grandchildren: Eli- 
zabeth, born 1560, and others. 

William Theyer, of Hucclecote, will dated, 
1571. Mentioned: in Joan Theyer's will [her 
mother?); in the will of Walter Thayer, of Church- 
down (his brother?). He names John Theyer [his 
nephew?), son of the aforesaid Walter. Children: 
John, godson of John Theyer, of Broekworth [his 
uncle?); Joan, mentioned in Joan Theyer's will [her 
c/raudmother?); Katherine, mentioned in Katherine 
Thaire's will, 1568, the widow of Walter Thayer, of 
Churchdown {her uncle?), married to Richard Wost, 
who is named in the will of John Thayer, of Church- 
j^ /l€^ down {f*^ consin?). 

Thomas Theyer (the younger in 1542 V). Will 
dated 16 November, 1583. Mentioned in his mother's 
will, 1545. Mai'gery Thayer, his wife, in her will 
names Margery Thayre, daughter of Walter Thayer, 
of Churchdown {brother of the said Thomas?). 

These four last are coetaneous with the founder 
of the family of Thornbury (the births of their 
grandchildren begin 1558 in Thornbury, and about 
1560 those of Walter and John in Churchdown and 
Broekworth). Supposing that all were brothers and 
sons of Joan Theyer, or only germain cousins, the 
primogenitor of this family should be the father of 



THE THA\'ER FAAMLY OF THOIJNBURY 



Thomas Theyor the elder, who should live in the 
second middle of the 15th century, but if this as- 
sumption were inexact, the origin of this family 
must be sought farther yet. 

The root of the familj^ name from "Taw" is 
likely attending to the early spelling of the name at 
Thornbury, but in the lines of Brockworth, Huccle- 
cote, Churchdown, and others, the letter "h" was 
never silent (1), thus the omission must be considered 
as a peculiarity of those of Thornbury, and the naiiies 
Theyer, They re and Thayer (2) being the most usual, 
as it can be seen in the next table (3), forms that is 
very difficult to derive from the root " taw." 



(1) NeverthelpsR, it has not bppii mnde n sppcial resparch with 
rpq^ard to the existence of the name "Tavvii'i-," in Brockworth in the 
l(itl) century, and that should be very interesting:. 

(2) The luime Theyre prevails in the parrochiul registers, Theyer 
in wills, and also, afterwards, Thayer In both sources. 

(3) Numbers giving the times are cited each name.

* * 



The earliest mention of the name of Tayer in 
Thornbury is one of the twenty-six tenants who 
made presentment of the customs of the Manor in 
1550. The circumstance that he signed with his 
surname makes believe he was the only one of that 
family settled there. It is probable this may be 
Joh[an]es Tawier, died 11 February, 1561-2. It is 
also presumable he was married to Constans or 
Johana Tawier (1), both died 19 March, 1561-2, and 
4 May, 1576, respectively, and that their children 
were ; ' 

1) Willihelmus Tawier J 11 February, 1561, the 
same day of his father's deaih. 

2) Jone Tawier married to Thomas Jamys 15 
November, 1553. 

3) Johanes Tawier married before 1557 to Mary 
[ ] Tawier. 

4) Thomas Tawier or Tayer, married prior to 
1558 to Margaret [ ] Tawier or Tayer. 

5) Constans Tawier married to Thomas Hold- 
brook, 19 February, 1560-1. 

6) Agneta Tawier or Tayer. A godmother 1560 ; 
she died unmarried 5 May, 1571. 

7) Alice Tawier or Tayer. A godmother, 1566, 
1567; t 13 December 1586. , 



(1) Can these burial entries refer to his daughters Constans 
[Tawier), Holdbrook and Jone [Tawier] Jamys or shall they be of 
two sisters of him ?
